ELECTEIC TABLE-LAMP:

resent To all t/J/U/Ilb it may concern:

Be it known that we, VVILMAM A. B. DAL- zcm. and Annex C. Sonocorxe, residents of Moundsvillc, in the county of Marshall and b'tate of West Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Electric 'lable-Lamps, of which the following is a specification.

The primary object of the invention is to proi'ide a simple and efficient electric table lamp, together with improved means for uniting the parts and for securing the lamp socket and for passing the circuit wires or cord to the latter.

()il burnii'ig lamps having variously ornamental globes are extensively used, and not infrequently these lamps are illuminated by suspending therein an incande ceiit electric bulb. A characteristic of the present invention is that it provides an electric lalnp structure having the general external appearance of an oil lamp and affording the same opportunity for decorative shapes and effects. I

in the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a vertical cross-sectioi'i of a lamp constructed and assembled in accordance with the invention and Fig. 2 illustrates in detail several of the parts that are fastened together when the lamp is asseml'iled.

teiierring to the drawings, 2 designates a foot-formii'ig base which is formed with the transverse bar or web 3. temovably seated on the base and rising therefrom is the glass or porcelain hollow body 4, held centered thereon by ring 5. A ring (3 rests on the upper edge of the body and supports the upwardly extending neck element 7 which is formed usually of .llCQt-lltfiltll and is of inverted cup forun with a flat top The lower extremity 7 tends through ring 6, the neck above this txtrcmity being bulged or beaded annularly at ;T to form a shoulder which rests on the inwardly extending llangc (3 of ring 6.

Seated on the neck top "thick metallic plate J which provides a substantial base or support for lamp socket it), the latter being provided wit ll which extends downwardly through apertures in plate 9 and neclctop tithe :--tem being tubular to pass the circuit wires or lamp cord 1:2, which may lead through base of the neck portion e.\'-'

2 and upwardly through body 4. Neck 7 may be provided with shoulder 13 for supporting the ring-like seat 14 on which rests globe l5.

16 is the electric lamp.

For holdii'tg'the parts in assembled relation a rod 1?, threaded at its opposite ends, is secured at its lower end to bar or web 3 by nut ti, and at its upper end is adjustably connected at the lower end of turn-buckle L8. The upper end of the turn-buckle is formed with threaded aperture 18' which connects with the threaded socket stem ll, the turn-lnickle treely passing the lamp cord to said stein, as shown in Big. 1.. Thus a simple and very efficient tie is provided possessing a suflicient range of adjustment to securely hold the parts in assembled rela' tion, at the same time clamping the lamp socket to plate 9 and neck-top ta.

'lhe hollow body -l may be variously haped aml'dccorated, but being hollow and. open at both ends a passage is always provided for the tie element and the lamp cord. Obviously, shades of various sl'iapcs may be used, and the shade and body atl'ord opportunity for a great variety of decorative effects, a characteristic of oil lamps of this general type.

We claim l. in an electric lamp, the combination of a base. a body. an upwardly extending neck porticn supported by the body. an electric lamp socket supported by the neck portion and having a tubular stem extending into the latter and formii'ig a passage for the lamp cord, and a longitudinally adjustable tie between the tubular stem and the base.

2. In an electric lamp. the combination of a base. a body, an u 'm'ardly extending neck portion su 'iported by the body an electric lamp sccket supported by the neck portio and wartlly through the top of the neck portion and forming a passage hr the lamp cord a rod secured to and extending upwardly iron] the base, and a turn-buckle adjustably connccting the rod and the socket stem.

In a lamp, the combination ol a base, an upwardly extending hollow body supported by the base, a sheet-metal neck por tion siu'icrposed on the body with the top surface of the neck adapted to support a lamp socket, a plate oil-relatively thick metal hu\ ing a tubular stem extending tlo\\'11-- 'J said plate and seated on top of the neck plate and the neck-top apertured, a lamp having a stem portion depending through the neck-top, and a tie connecting the socket stem and base for holding theseveral parts in assembled relation,

4. In an electric table lamp, the combination of a, base, a hollow body supported thereon, a neck portion removably seated on the base and provided with a top opening, an electric lanip socket supported by the neck and having a tubular externally threaded stem extending downwardly through the portion with said neck'opening,

socket resting on the superposed plate and j adjustably l l v from the base, a laterally open turnbuckle connecting the tie rod andlamp socket stem, and a lamp cord extending upwardly through the body and through the laterally open turn-buckle and into the tubular socket stein.

In testimony whereof we aflix our signalures in presence of twowitnesses.
